12 JANUARY 2011: day 12 (week 2)

isabelle's skating day!!

i volunteered to accompany isabelle's class to the skating arena. i was hoping to go alone but last night nitz mentioned that he has to go to a job hunting seminar/workshop! and i had to bring sofia with me. i was thinking of not going to isabelle's skating but i know the teacher was expecting me. so i brought sofia to school too.

that morning it was snowing quite heavily(!!) and the class would be walking from the school to the arena. i was thinking it was no problem since i had the stroller for sofia. then when we started walking, i noticed that the sidewalks were covered with snow (at least 7cm deep!!!)! i was really having a hard time pushing the stroller because i was dragging all the snow with the wheels... it was so so so difficult! i got left behind by the class... but i made it to the arena in time.

isabelle with her classmate cole all ready to skate.



isabelle carefully walked along the side..




and after awhile she was able to let go and glide slowly.



i was so proud of isabelle!


on our way back, a parent offered us a ride. she sure saved us. she even brought sofia and i home.

walking with a stroller through such a deep snow is really heavy - glad you survived ;-) and got a ride back.
